Improvement in medical compounds or bitters



UNITE STATES PATENT O FICE.

RICHARD G. TURNER, OF COLUMBIA, TEXAS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,975, dated January 23, 1872.

bark, four drains; quassia, four drains, cloves,

one dram.

When the above articles have been combined in a suitable vessel the compound is allowed to stand for the space of about fourteen days, when it is filtered through muslin or other suitable material, after which it is ready for hottling and use.

This compound is more especially designed as a remedy for miasmatic fevers, but is very valuable in many other diseases and ailments of the human system, as general debility, torpid liver, dyspepsia, constipation, jaundice, and many others. A dose for an adult is about one-half wineglass full about three times a day.

I do not confine myself to the precise proportions nor to the precise mode of preparation, as the proportions as well as the time may be slightly varied without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The above medicinal compound, substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.

RICHARD G. TURNER.
